Story
Our beautiful Mum and Nan has been taken too soon by this debilitating chronic lung condition that there is no cure for.
There is no knowing how long you have once diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis. The condition can worsen suddenly or gradually over several years starving a person of oxygen.
We have taken every day of her life since diagnosis as a bonus.
At some point in her life Mum was exposed to asbestoses, coal dust, damp conditions or certain types of toxic dust. What the exact cause or combination of all is not known. The years of her supporting her family as an office and school cleaner could be a link, or the years exposed to damp living conditions possibly also. Whatever it was, it was through no fault of her own.
We are supporting research into a cure for Pulmonary Fibrosis and support for other families going through the same plight as our Mum and Nan has endured.
We hope you will help us to achieve our fundraising goal to help us make an impact for those diagnosed in the future.
Here's a bit about the charity that will help us do this....
Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis (APF) is a growing community of patients, families, researchers and healthcare professionals striving to find a cure for pulmonary fibrosis so that everyone affected by the disease has a better future. We provide personalised support to patient and families - and raise awareness of pulmonary fibrosis through campaigning, fundraising and education. We are also committed to funding research to improve the quality of life for people living with pulmonary fibrosis today and tomorrow.
